Freshly baked empanadas

WELCOME HOME

We tried to keep it brief. The empanadas wouldn't let us. Hand-folded, heart-made, and dangerously delicious — welcome to the House of Empanadas. We've been expecting you. MI CASA ES SU CASA!

THE STORY

From the Heart of Peru to Your Table

“Growing up, our home was defined by the aroma of grandmother’s cooking. And mom made sure none of those recipes got lost — she gathered all five of us kids in the kitchen and said 'pay attention!' We did.”

After years of leading a construction business with his brothers, Chef Gabriel traded the hard hat for a chef's coat and tools for culinary artistry to share those same family traditions with you. Every empanada is a "token of home"—hand-crafted using authentic recipes perfected at Le Cordon Bleu and with one mission:

To feed you the way family feeds family.

No shortcuts. No frozen anything. Just real food, made by real hands, with a ridiculous amount of love.

— Chef Gabriel, Founder & Head Empanada Enthusiast
